The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 645: Repaying the Debt of Upbringing

Lin Shuo pondered seriously over Jiang Youzhi’s words and slowly nodded, "Makes sense. There are some things I can say beforehand, and if she cannot accept them, then find someone who can."

Jiang Youzhi smiled slightly, "That’s right."

"In this world, everyone has their own desires, and personalities are vastly different. What Brother Lin finds hard to endure might be nothing to others."

Lin Shuo nodded, "I can’t just watch my parents continue like this."

He closed his eyes, "If marriage is necessary, then so be it. I’ll consider it as repaying them for raising me. Maybe, as you said, a child would give them hope to continue living."

He opened his eyes, and the emotions disappeared from them. He cupped his hands toward Jiang Youzhi, showing a slight smile, "Indeed, I knew talking to you would perhaps yield some solutions."

"By the way, there’s something else I need to discuss with you."

"My father is now the Commander of the Imperial Army, but I don’t want to join, to be managed by him."

"I want to join the Military Department."

Jiang Youzhi laughed, "Following my father isn’t necessarily the best either."

Lin Shuo also laughed, "The Military Department is much better than the Forbidden Army, sometimes even raiding homes nets a decent profit."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, "I’ll mention it to my father when I return."

"By the way, yesterday, the guards from your mansion were scouring the Capital City for Red-backed Bamboo Grass. Many families were disturbed. What are you searching for it for?" Lin Shuo continued.

Jiang Youzhi’s face turned slightly somber, "To detoxify, my father was poisoned."

Lin Shuo picked up his cup and drank some tea, "Seeing that you can still come out and chat with me today, the Duke must be alright now."

Jiang Youzhi let out a long breath, "He narrowly escaped death."

"No, it was his heartbeat that stopped, and it was Jiao Jiao who saved him."

Lin Shuo felt his heart tighten, "What a relief."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, "It truly is a relief. My mother said the Red-backed Bamboo Grass is the only antidote for the poison, but we couldn’t find it anywhere in the Capital City."

"Luckily, Jiao Jiao had some unknown medicine that saved my father."

There was a trace of gentleness in Lin Shuo’s eyes, "Doctor Gu’s medical skills are truly extraordinary."

Jiang Youzhi put down his teacup and looked askance at Lin Shuo, "When do you plan to see your fiancée?"

Lin Shuo hesitated for a moment, "I actually want to see her now."

"Whether we marry or not, I want to resolve this matter soon."

"I just hope to leave them a child and then leave that Marquis Mansion as soon as possible; it’s too stifling for me there."

Jiang Youzhi leaned forward, winking, "Then let’s go, I’ll accompany you."

"I’m quite curious about Brother Lin’s future wife."

Lin Shuo gave a bitter smile, "Girls from noble families are in their boudoir, it’s not like you and I can just visit them."

Jiang Youzhi laughed, "Just kidding. By the way, which family’s girl is she?"

Lin Shuo said, "The eldest granddaughter of Mr. Feng, the Grand Academician of the Imperial College. Her father is currently serving as a Magistrate elsewhere."

"Before I left home, my mother intended to betroth me to her maternal cousin, but I’m not sure why she changed her mind now."

"She said Miss Feng is someone she has seen in person, gentle in disposition, and beautiful in appearance, a good choice for a wife."

Jiang Youzhi was somewhat silent after hearing that.

He attended the Imperial College and had seen Mr. Feng, the Grand Academician, several times.

The impression Mr. Feng gave was that, to put it nicely, he was a person who adhered strictly to decorum and etiquette.

To put it bluntly, he was stuck in antiquated ways.

It’s likely that his granddaughter is a well-bred lady who has received strict education.

Such a woman might be dull or uninteresting, but she should handle household affairs, manage children, and their education adeptly.
